Share-Online service offline since 16 October 2019 hours
Investigations by GVU lead to concerted action against largest hosters of illegal media content in Germany - Focus on Public Prosecutor's Office and Police search residential and business premises in Germany, France and the Netherlands - GVU accompanied entire proceedings
Berlin/Cologne, 17.10.2019 It has been clear since yesterday that even filehosters are not unassailable. On Wednesday, 16 October 2019 at around 2 p.m., the Internet offering of Share-Online.biz, the largest file hosting service aimed at the German-speaking market, was shut down by cyber crimes specialists from the Cologne public prosecutor's office and the Aachen police headquarters. This unprecedented procedure was initiated by GVU, whose employees filed a criminal complaint against the operators of the service as early as 2017 and have been continuously supporting the authorities ever since. Where previously all criminal and civil law approaches of various actors seemed to run nowhere, GVU was now able to achieve a groundbreaking success for its members and the creative industries as a whole.
In Germany, residential and business premises were searched in several federal states, and further raids took place in France and a Dutch computer centre. Extensive evidence was secured. The allegation against three defendants aged 40, 48 and 54 is that they have assisted the commercial exploitation of copyrighted works in a large number of cases. At Share-Online.biz, millions of files were hosted on several hundred servers and between six and ten million visitors visited the site every month. In 2017, a single service provider commissioned by GVU sent more than eight million deletion requests to the operators of Share-online.biz as part of the GVU takedown project to have unlicensed content removed. The service appeared to be cooperative, but all content was available again shortly after the supposed deletion. The GVU was able to make the findings and data gained from the takedown project directly available to the lead public prosecutor's office in order to substantiate the accusation of aiding and abetting commercial copyright infringement. In addition, the state investigators were proactively supported by GVU staff through specific analyses and precisely documented test downloads.

ShitPost.to: a freehoster for donations, how long will this last?
The sharehoster Shitpost.to is not asking for payment for anything. The admin pays all on his own. But for how long can this experiment work?
The still unknown freehoster Shitpost.to is currently not asking for payment for anything. The operator currently pays all costs out of his own pocket and hopes for donations. How long can the experiment work?
CannaPower cooperates with ShitPost.to in the future
For the launch of the sharehoster ShitPost.to, which can be accessed via the Clearnet and Tor networks, the founder is not charging any fees. All downloads up to 10 GB can currently be obtained for free. What is he after, first becoming known before charging fees?
It is possible that he has already succeeded in this first step, because the team of the music portal CannaPower is currently initiating a cooperation. Due to the ongoing problems of ZippyShare, Canna needs more alternatives for obtaining music files. After ZippyShare locked out all German surfers, users are still reporting ongoing problems with malware that is being distributed through Zippyshare’s download page. We have already reported about the incident in detail.
There is a lot going on under the cover of Shitpost.to at the moment. Its creator is obviously working diligently on his project. In addition, he has secured himself well against all outside eyes. We wanted to know more about the protection and monetization of his site. It can’t be the intention that he pays for all expenses in the long run, can it? Privacy on the Web? The operator has long since stopped believing in that, as he tells us. Whether he will continue to believe in the good in people remains to be seen.
